Swedish Fire Steel

$24.00

Originally developed for the Swedish Army, this deceptively simple tool is a fool-proof means to start a fire—it even works when wet. When the metal blade is moved across the rod, it creates a hot spark to ignite paper, dry leaves or dry grass to start a fire. Useful for lighting campfires, stoves, and gas grills, the spark produced is bright enough to function as an emergency signal. Each FireSteel lasts for approximately 3,000 strikes whether you are using it to survive in the wilds or just to fire up a backyard barbecue.
